As the semester comes to a close, a quick reflection on the
many events is in order, along with some thanks to the facilitators who went
the extra mile to make IRE special. These events include snow shoeing, engineering
intramural basketball, spring break, and the Vertical Endeavors trip to Duluth.
The first of the events included snow shoeing with the most interesting man
alive (Jim Boyd). This was a nice and much needed break from everyday school
work. The picture below is from the highest point reached, with some of the
Minntac wind mills visible in the far background. The second event consisted of
a weekly drive to Itasca Community College for about a month and a half for
engineering intramural basketball. Although I won’t say too much about our
record, the league provided a great activity for incoming Gen 8 students to
connect with fellow IRE students. The biggest event of the semester included an
IRE spring break trip to Fort Myers, FL. This event included a week’s worth of
80 degree weather, which was a nice change after a long MN winter. Activates
for the week included golf, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, a Twins game, and
some great food. The pictures below are from the Twins spring training facility.
A big thanks to our two facilitators Andy Lillesve and Matthew Korpela for
attending this with us along with Michael Lynch for the free stay at his aunt’s
condo. The last and most recent event included a trip to Duluth and Vertical Endeavors.
Rock climbing proved to be an enjoyable activity with many sore muscles the
following day. Jim Boyd deserves a big thank you for setting up the trip and a
thank you to Andy Lillesve for participating.
